Compliance services

The counsel

A UAE company now carries a standing set of obligations: ultimate beneficial ownership records, economic substance reporting where relevant activities apply, anti-money-laundering registration and goAML enrolment for designated businesses, corporate tax and VAT deadlines, licence and lease renewals, immigration file maintenance and audited accounts. Each is administered by a different authority, with its own calendar and its own penalty schedule. We maintain a single compliance register for every client entity, monitor filing dates, prepare and submit returns, and give notice well ahead of anything falling due. Where a company has fallen behind — as many do after a period of growth — we quantify the exposure, regularise the filings and negotiate the position with the authority rather than letting it accumulate.
